To be fair, that was just Ajit Pai, who also thought net neutrality was not important. Now that he's gone, I hope he gets subjected to 3mbps upload speeds for the rest of his days.
This is something we will definitely offer as well, with an SLA. And because the maintenance is not only done by us, but the community as well, fixes will be propagated throughout all users much faster than if it has to go through customer support.

Open-source doesn't mean you can't have both. You can check how Databricks or Confluent are doing.
I read this 3 times and I cannot understand it: who wants to kill Jewish people and why? Since 1945 I did not heard of anyone with such ideas, definitely not in mainstream political views of any contemporaneous party.
No it's just an LED that's either blue, orange, red. I knew it wouldn't give me exact figures (or pollutants) but from what I'd read the "fix" was to get an air purifier or move.
Cauliflower even in older Indian cooking; see my sibling comment to yours. Broccoli is newer in India, AFAIK.
think something like google keep or trello or airtable. Its just a lot of text/json. Its in a db and not blobs or object store due to sync, filtering, tagging, reporting ..... larger assets(img) will be in an object store

Maybe its not supposed to be in a DB, but using my export of google keep as a guide on average my larger files are 10-20kb of json. x that by 1000 for unlimited* storage and x that per user you're over 1 TB.

Even in that case postgres will still work and there will be enough time to scale up manually. But from the perspective of architecting something on this scale or beyond I made my original post.

And so maybe I am over architecting then both of yours advice about pg still applies. (you guys are ultimately right, practically)
Haha. I have a multi generational household. 4 adults, 2 children, and we're heavy Facetime/Apple TV users. 4 to 8 HD simultaneous video streams is normal, plus the security cameras. I also wanted to be able to stream from my server at home anywhere I am. And with 2 people working from home, it was an amazing decision.

If a 100 Gbps link goes down, and all the other links that could carry that route are only 10 Gbps... it goes downhill quickly.

Too much traffic is concentrated at the major carriers which carry a large amount of traffic over relatively little fiber (cause its cheaper) and when that fiber disappears we lose a massive amount of capacity...
Uh presuming that the connection is multihomed which is not the case for residential connections in NY.
That's my main concern although maybe air pollution from toast / allergens is just as bad.
It might sound conspiratorial, but when the WTC was attacked in 2001, the Internet slowed down a few days after. We'll probably never know, but I assumed it was deeper surveillance being implemented.

Every time an outage like this happens without a following postmortem, I wonder if it was a surveillance oopsie.

I mean there are many many differences between complaints about the 2016 election and the 2020 election:

* The Republican presidential candidate won in 2016 despite losing the popular vote by a huge margin

* There was ample evidence of the malfeasance being complained about in the 2016 election, while there was no evidence of the malfeasance being complained about in the 2020 election

* The people who complained of a 'stolen' election in 2016 were pushing for reforms, and the protests were peaceful, while the people who complained about a 'stolen' election in 2020 were pushing for a violent overthrow of the democratic process, and there was subsequently an attempt to violently overthrow the democratic process.

I say all this as someone who is a cynic at heart, and I do my best to avoid hyperbolic media from either extreme on the political spectrum (and opinion pieces altogether), and to pay for and consume media that challenges my biases: Not everything is equal. Sometimes one of the options is worse than the other.
I maintain a legacy service at work (I originally wrote it back in 2014) that is responsible for sending eFaxes from our various other services and platforms. It's one of the most internally trafficked services we have. We're in the healthcare space. Almost every document created on our different platforms results in a fax being sent.
It sounds like this Parsec-based setup runs the emulator on the server, and streams the video. A kodi/retropie setup might load media/roms over the network, but would run the emulation on the client.
FWIW in my field of web performance I'll follow, and ask others to follow, simplified significant figure rules. For instance I'll see people copy down +1.5785% +- 0.10345% improvement. In which case +1.6% +- 0.1% is a better presentation.

In think the CS industry and the tooling like you mention should do a better job here.

This is a surprising move to me. Seems like they are further deprioritizing trying to win small companies, which might make sense based on their revenue split, but I do wonder if it’s going to hamper them in the long term.

For enterprise users, $20/mo is not going to move the needle. But for a startup, that is actually a material spend, particularly given that Gitlab still don’t support monthly billing on subscriptions like most SaaS services do. (I would not be surprised if they lost a number of cost-conscious customers to GitHub due to the “annual only” pricing model.)

For user acquisition, broadly speaking you can acquire big customers in two ways; either you convince a big company to switch to your product, or you win a small company that then grows into a large one. The latter requires you to have mindshare and GitHub clearly wins on this count.

The risk with just trying to win large companies is that there is significant inertia involved in core tooling like CI/CD; to convince someone to switch off their current system will require a lot of benefit, and the amount of work only increases as the company gets bigger. It’s way easier to convince a startup to use Gitlab from the get-go than to convince someone to convert a 100-1000 person org.

So talking all of this through, I can see why Gitlab doesn’t want to scrap with GitHub over supporting all of the low-margin $5/mo companies, and wants to focus on higher margin enterprise deals. If they are seeing better performance in that segment, then jettisoning the $5/mo plan might let them focus on fewer customer profiles, and make the product more polished there. But it seems potentially risky, going all in on one sales strategy vs. having a diversified approach that gives some hedging.

> A hollow torus can be cut twice — once around the tube and then along the resulting cylinder — so by this definition, it has two holes.

Fascinating! This idea of an inner hole that is hidden and connected is quite unintuitive to me. I majored in mathematics in college but I wouldn't have reached this conclusion through intuition.
I am not sure either tbh.
My assumption based the note that Linux Plex servers won't work with Parsec is that the emulation & streaming is done on your local network.

Either way, I've yet to have a suitably positive experience streaming anything interactive on either LAN or WAN. I see the improvements that have been made and many friends swear by it, but it may just be that I'm too sensitive to input lag and even the rarest encode/decode hiccup.
Could also be allergies. You might try and OTC allergy medication for a bit and see if it makes any difference.

On the domain/DNS side, how do you see things being simplified? Services like GoDaddy already try to do this, but in hiding functionality or renaming key terms to dumb them down, they confuse things further for anyone using mainstream materials to reference or learn from. TTL is often dumbed down to an "auto" setting - fair enough, but beyond that how much more can you simplify within the existing technology frameworks? (Admittedly all the verification and security records are getting a bit out of hand, but they aren't compulsory.)

Anecdata: I had a colleague think they were helping with something because they saw "domain forwarding" turned off for a domain that was used as a secondary domain for an existing site. It was all working absolutely fine, using server config and DNS. They turned it on and behind the scenes the "friendly", "easy to use" provider removed the custom nameservers and cleared the DNS records. When I initially turned the forwarding off again, it added some records to forward to its domain parking service. All of this was obscured and presumably done in the name of helping users.

Ah OK that makes sense. I have experienced working at companies that will go to greater lengths than others to accommodate their employees in lieu of profits or even profitability, but yes they all have their limits, just like individual people have limits on their altruism. It certainly is easier for an individual to be more altruistic than for a corporation.
You're right that an ad-less world is impossible. Advertisements existed before you and I were both alive and they will exist when we're gone.

But that does not mean I have to partake in them, watch them, or allow them to consume my attention and time. I also don't need to spend my limited time on this planet trying to "fix advertising". I can simply block them and ignore the ones that slip through, and get on with my life. If this is an issue that is dear to your heart, that sentiment undoubtedly feels dismissive. I'm sorry about that.

I was basically restricted to buying homes in new developments since 2010. Those all tended to have fiber, and anything before did not, and they had no plans to install it. I pay $65 per month for 940mbps up and down from Centurylink, and it's been as advertised so far.

Unfortunately, the cable company usually offers some ludicrous 500mbps (burst) download / 5mbps upload connection that people are willing to accept for cheaper, so if the phone company comes in and pays to install fiber and charge accordingly for the new fiber runs, insufficient people would switch to the fiber to make the numbers work since they are okay with the shitty cable company connection.

What gets me is how they never stop harassing me to use streaming services I don't want to use. That plus the server often being slow to seek has me looking for an alternative.

Since moving to Fractal Design Define (i.e. soundproofed) version 4/5/6/7 cases over the past ~10 years, the only noise I ever hear anymore is from the fans, primarily GPU and case fans when running heavier jobs. In my main system I have 6 spinning rust drives (8-16TB from various manufacturers) running 24/7 and I never hear them, even during heavy read/writes... and I often sleep on the couch nearby ;)
TTL is difficult in practice due to client implementations and other issues like that. Be careful using DNS anything. DNS was not designed to immediately resolve anything. That's why IPs are mostly used.
I’ve got Comcast 2 gig fiber and Verizon 1 fig fiber to my house, plus 1 gig cable. I live 10 minutes from horse farms in MD. (The horse farms also have fiber.)
It'd probably be cheaper to stick it in Glacier or GC Archive ($0.0012/GB/month).

People don't want adds. how do you infer that people want ads because the ad industry is profitable?

It's profitable because a few people want to influence and spy on a lot of people.

Most people don't want ads they just tolerate them for getting actual services. Most these people don't even know how much tracking is involved and how nefarious this industry really is.
Are those legacy-supporting sites really the slow ones though? Targeting old software usually also means targeting old hardware, so those sites tend to perform reasonably well (and in general, old browsers didn't give developers many options to slow things down).

The problem really starts once developers can start ignoring old platforms and (ab)using the full power of a modern browser. The problem isn't any specific library, but the mindset developers use to develop web sites/apps.

Bundling 20 dependencies and 10k lines of "compiled" JSX into one giant 5MB uncachable blob that needs to get parsed in its entirety, then shoot some requests off then need to complete, be parsed, then compile some HTML and CSS that then need to again get parsed by the browser and then finally, the the browser's rendering engine gets to start laying things out and drawing the first pixels - that is the problem.

The browser is a document viewer, not an application runtime, so you should be giving it documents, not programs. Yes, JavaScript is necessary, but just like you shouldn't be using HTML for layout and CSS for content and graphics (although CSS-only art is impressive!), you shouldn't be using JavaScript for content and styling.
So, for clarity, it's never one fiber line being cut. It's a big massive bundle of fiber carrying different circuits for different carriers different places that were run in the same trench and all got cut at once.

Then they get to dig it out better and someone gets to get down in the hole and figure out which piece of fiber needs to be spliced to which other one.

Because of DWDM, some of those individual fibers may each be carrying 64 channels that in turn each carry 400gbit/sec for different providers/services/etc.

Even with tools like github, which are supposed to make collaboration easier, it is still incredibly difficult to contribute meaningfully to an open source project.

I actually had a job where I had the privilege of modifying an open source tool as part of my day-to-day job. Even there, I found it very difficult to give back to the project because the maintainers of the project weren't terribly interest in having or maintaining the enterprise-y, cloud-y features that I was implementing.

It seems like most OSS projects have a single key contributor / BDFL who decides the direction of the project. Outside of financial incentives, it's hard to get groups of people moving in the same direction.
The math is $500 expense today for the test code. $0.01 each time the test runs and +$ for each client acquired. At $20/mo MRR it's 3 clients/year. Easily pays for itself.

Ultimate includes a bunch of bells and whistles - full k8s integration, static/dynamic security testing, deep monitoring integration, etc.

I have considered it but ultimately at any given time, there are one or two features in the top tier that sound good, but usually you can get 80% of the way there with a FOSS alternative.

For example wiring up ArgoCD to run your k8s deploys, or writing your SAST rules yourself.
This comment is super weird, and while it's a fun attempt at a subtle insult, it just kind of falls apart.

Why would I ever change my opinion to gain social capital, or make my life easier? I base it off of documented events; we've all lived the same past year whether people want to believe it or not.

It's simply not rationalizing when an individual looks at these two events that are clearly different in buildup, intent, and outcome, and then chooses to not view them the same.

Trying to bait someone with this stuff feels really old school internet, but not in an effective way.
In engineering parlance composites are materials with high tensile strength bonded to materials with high compressive strength.

Concrete is compressive strength materials (rock, sand) bonded with cement. OTOH - We could say reinforced concrete, (steel, fiberglass, etc reinforcement) is a composite.
What tools do you use for collective problem-solving?
I had a long day at work. Why? I had to solve one problem after the next engaging with different groups of people. Roadmap prioritisation, architecture vision, hiring decisions... Problems in the general sense. On a good day I might call these tasks or challenges.

Point is, problem-solving in groups feels just as slow and error-prone as 10 years ago. It feels like it hasn't evolved. Sure, there are more tools in the mix from Slack, Figma, Miro, to a old fashioned meetings. Yet, reaching consensus and making decisions as a collective is still as fiddly as ever.

Do you agree or am I missing the trick?

How do you solve problems at work, and what tools or combination thereof do you find useful?

I can think of a number of reasons why this may not have gotten a lot of traction in the intervening eight years. One is that DIF/DIX disks are not easily available at reasonable prices.

The other potential shortcoming is that it provides substantially weaker consistency guarantees than what people are used to. After all of the scan threads are finished with the recovery, yes, the file system metadata will be self-consistent; but that's all you can count upon.

Suppose that a particular file is getting updated at the time of the crash. There might be several blocks that were newly allocated right before the crash, and the a larger number of data blocks that were getting overwritten right before the crash. There is no guarantee which set of data blocks will be persistent across the reboot, and which newly allocated blocks will actually be attached to the file. There might also be newly allocated blocks that were attached to the file, but the data might not be written to the block, such that stale data (the previous contents of the block, which mgiht be another user's medical data, or private e-mail, etc.) that would become visible to the file across the crash.
Then why write it at all?

I've taken them for granted most of my life, but once I stopped to really think about them, they began to amaze me:

- Clean running water, piped directly into my house, available on-demand.

- The system of technologies that enable me to live in peace while consuming just about any food, product, or information that I desire. It's stupefying to even try and fathom how it all functions, how I and others can consume so many resources, and it's simultaneously disturbing, because I wonder: how much longer can it really last?
Great article! I tried to help my local university's computer museum set up a similar display but there is no comparison.

About "IBM is older than you might expect. It was founded (under the name CTR) in 1911 and produced punched card equipment for data processing, among other things.", while this is 100% true it is a little misleading since what happened in 1911 was a merger of several older companies:

There is a real cost to changing APIs/documentation/UIs. My experience talking to black (one African, one European) coworkers is their reaction is "That's the problem you're going to fix?". When the company does a companywide initative to remove "problematic" terms from APIs/documentation, but doesn't stop funding of politicians who support voter suppression that predominantly affect black people in real practical ways, that bemusement can even turn to offense as they feel placated.

Of course, my coworkers don't represent all black people, and especially wouldn't claim to represent African Americans, but if even black people can hold this opinion, are you surprised others don't see this as worth the effort to change?
I've never seen Comcast offer fiber, except to businesses at astronomical costs. I can't even find it on their website. Do they advertise upload bandwidth for their fiber?
